We had a lie in this morning, though we did wake briefly at the normal time out of habit. After that I dropped Julia off at the laundrette and went shopping. This is all very depressing, as I’d imagined life would be more interesting after we got our Sundays back. This has not been the case.
It’s been cold for the last few days and we’ve had to have the fire on. I’m not sure if it was accurate, but one report said it had dropped to minus 4 C. It has certainly been frosty on a couple of mornings.
Here are some photos from the garden on Friday. One group shows the new (very) raised bed built frpm pallets. The others are blossom. Sorry it’s a bit repetitive, but I’m not feeling very original at the moment.
The final picture is a sign with a message. I suppose you could have guessed that without me telling you.
Motivational message – Wilford
For tea we had corned beef hash, because it feels like a time for winter food. I included potato, carrots, sweet potato, onions and swede, then served stir-fried kale on the side.
Tomorrow we will be having chicken stew, with vegetable curry on Tuesday and Chicken tray bake with lemon and squash on Wednesday. With the exception of the tray bake they are just waiting to be reheated. At least we will be eating properly until the middle of the week.
And so it starts again…
Your corn beef hash is far superior to mine which contains corned beef and potatoes. I must try to be more adventurous like you.
It seems to work quite well and feels more virtuous than just potatoes.
The raised beds look good.
Thank you. I will pass that on.
I do like the blossom pics.
Thank you. 🙂
I like the very raised beds, mind you I bet they take some filling 🙂
There’s a lot of woodchip in the bottom. I imagine it will sink a good foot over the year, but at least it gives us 12 months to find more soil. 🙂
Sorry I’ve been away from blogging for a bit here, Quercus. Good to see you and Julia again! I love those blossoms at Wilford.
It’s been a cool, wet spring here. I think we may be coming into some slightly drier weather soon.
Good to see you back. The weather is improving here, but looks like it may begin to decline a bit from the weekend. Ah well…
The planned meals sound good! Excellent blossom photos.
🙂 Thank you.

A quiet start, but a good one.
It was useful rather than exciting, but then so am I. 🙂
You are too modest. 😉
